Bike-fit has come a long way
Once upon a time you set your saddle height so your leg was straight when your heel was on the pedal at 6 o’clock, tightened up the bolt and off you rode. Then, ten years ago, Phil Burt wrote a book that changed everything: Bike Fit. In it, Burt detailed how to tailor bike setup not by rules of thumb but tuned to the individual’s needs, drawing on his experience as a physiotherapist working with Team GB and Team Sky. But a lot can change in a decade, so this year Burt released a revised edition.
